The point is those games are just as new experiences as Zelda BOTW which is a cross gen game. A new game is a new experience, period. The fact they are released in two different consoles do not change that single fact

It's perfectly fine if you think you should not buy new consoles if the older console can play most of its games. It's your money, which doesn't make sense is to be unsatisfied and annoyed because developers decided they want more people (majority of them who can't afford buying consoles at launch) playing their games, oh the horror! 

I didn't buy a Switch to play BOTW, I played that on my Wii U.

We're just gonna have to disagree on this one, especially as we're way off topic.

To bring it back to PS5 Pro, they're clearly aiming at wealthy tech enthusiasts with this one, and I have to wonder whether most folks with who care that much about graphics and have that much disposable income wouldn't just have a gaming PC instead.

Here's one ;)

You forget convenience. Gaming PC is great, just not very convenient. If I could buy a gaming PC that requires as little 'work' as turning a console on, with all games guaranteed to run hassle free, I would put one next to the TV.

What I want from gaming is, turn on console, turn on VR headset, 30 seconds later be in the game. No distractions. If a Pro can enhance that experience, why not. A gaming PC can't.

PS5 Pro is aimed at lazy people ;) Or rather for those who don't want to spend time on the 'engine' the PC, want to spend all their available time on gaming.
